I'm so sorry to hear this:( I have no advice but may be facing a similar situation due to being in a probable life threatening situation. trying to hang onto the baby, but things don't look good. all I can say is that you will get through it and there are pain control options if needed. I've heard that the levels of pain depend on how far along you are and what procedure they are going to do. praying for you :)

I'm so sorry for your loss mama. I don't have any experience with what you're asking, but I read your post about losing your baby and I'm heartbroken. Wish you and your family healing, you're in my thoughts.

I'm so sorry to hear this and will keep you in my thoughts. I do have experience with this, last year we lost our boy at 17 weeks pregnant. The doctor inserted pills every few hours. I was able to receive pain relief through an iv. I did end up having surgery to remove the placenta because it did not deliver on its own. I hope the best for you and your family, I know how hard this is for you.

I am so sorry you are going through this. Did they mention pain relief options that will be available to you? My second MC for "stuck" and was extremely painful, but once I got to the ER they were able to give me a shot for pain (can't remember what it was) but everything was bearable after that. Surgery I was completely out for so didn't feel anything.

So sorry for your loss. If you need anything we’re all here to support you. I don’t personally have experience with medically induced although I have miscarried. My heart goes out to you and I’m wishing you the very best. You’ll get through this💖

baby died at about 14 weeks. I’ve never had contractions (prior deliveries by C-section) so I have nothing to compare the induction to. I don’t feel able to go through it but it’s the best option as I was further along in pregnancy. I am scheduled for Thursday but started spotting last night. I pray for the best outcome in your situation 🙏🏻.

I had a similar situation my last pregnancy at 22 weeks. I chose all the pain meds! IV meds at first then an epidural! I didn't want to feel anything! The thought of feeling contractions was too much for me when I knew it wasn't a good outcome. I do know of some women that wanted to feel everything so I guess everyone is different. But it is labor and it took me 50 hours! So I'm thankful for the meds!! I recommend having support while in the hospital and after. I'm so sorry to hear you are going thru this! Praying for peace and healing! Just know you are not alone!

I just went through a similar situation last fall, but I was a mere 9 weeks. I waited two full weeks to confirm miscarriage, and waited to see my hcg drop before I decided anything. My OB gave me the choices of a D&C or Medically induced with pills. I ended up choosing the pills because it would've taken two more weeks with military insurance to have it approved. I was stil having morning sickness and all my other symptoms to remind me every day, so I just couldn't bare it.

My OB placed the pills in his office and about 30 minutes to an hour later I started contracting. I denied pain meds in his office because he said it would be like a 'bad period'. I have endometriosis so I have bad periods anyway, so I thought I could handle it. I was awfully wrong. It was the most painful thing I've ever went through. Your body literally contracts, and also felt the sac burst. At that point, the pain lessened. But the emotional pain from that was something I never would've thought of. I contracted for a few hours, and bled for almost 3 months after. So be sure to keep an eye on this. My iron was low and they were tracking every couple days to make sure I didn't need a transfusion.

I'm horribly sorry if this seems 'harsh' but it is stuff I wish I would've been more prepared for. If you are sent home after being induced, make sure you have extra grandma undies with over night pads, baby wipes, and wash clothes on hand. Old bedding or towels on your bed, and please ask for pain meds. I didn't have any so I did a loading does of 1,000 Tylenol and 1,000 ibuprofen then alternated every 4 hours afterwards. I'm unaware of our family situation, but make sure someone is with you.. it is an awful feeling but my mom and husband sat through it with me the whole time.

Also, I wanted to add. If you do have the choice of being induced in the hospital that will be your best bet. I personally wish I could have. Being at home and being reminded all the time isn't something I wish upon anyone.

Again, I'm so sorry for your loss. And my thoughts and prayers are with you and for your Rainbow Baby ❤️

I'm so sorry for your loss and pray for strength to get you through this...I had a medical abortion about two years back and Iwas pretty close to20 weeks ..but due to the fact that the inducing meds did not work, I had to have a caesar. All the best xox I feel your pain

I had a miscarriage induced by medication at 10 weeks. (Diagnosed with a missed miscarriage). Yes. It hurt. Like bad, bad period cramps. Take pain killers. It took a few hours total. Maybe 3? And then subsided. I was still a bit crampy and sore for a few days afterwards if I accidentally pushed myself too hard. Nothing too severe though. The emotional aspect makes it incomparable to labour. (I mention as you mentioned c sections)
